“The location is undeniably a draw, a short walk from Russel Square places it in the heart of London. Rooms are basic, but clean and functional, suited for travellers who prioritize location above all else. I noted reports of noise and shared bathrooms, which might deter some, but the friendly staff and reasonable prices present a compelling case for budget-conscious visitors.”
